And if there no protondb info or it have “platinum”, then start praying. Also, god forbid if you want something extra like FSR4 or install some mods. Then you mixing this things to whole “is that my hardware\software\proton issue or game genially bugged?”

This is why I play console. I am just too lazy/busy/worn out to learn all that I’d need to know about that side of the gaming world. That’s why the steam machine interested me until I saw the price.

It wasn’t an insult. I admire that you guys know that much about computers and software. Its like an alien language to me. Dunno why I was being downvoted for self deprication.
